Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. We’ll take that document. Thank you very much. Sergeant-at-Arms, if you could please escort the witnesses out of the Chamber.

We are moving on to section 7. More importantly, turn your attention to page 7-2 on Justice. Before we do that, I’ll ask the Minister of Justice if he has any witnesses that he’d like to bring into the Chamber.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Beaulieu.

I think everyone in this room and I think people listening would probably indicate that that is a fairly low number of convictions in distracted driving in the NWT. What is the Minister and the department doing to reinforce this law?

Does committee agree that consideration of the Department of Health and Social Services is completed?

Ms. DeLancey.

As I said, in itself, this is not the issue and it is the price we pay for technology of sort, but then again, when does this or should this fixation trump the safety of our society. Unpopular as this may sound, maybe the concept of lose the phone is just that if you are distracted while using a phone and you get caught, you lose it; something for us to think about, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Turn to pages 6-7 and 6-8, Health and Social Services, activity summary, community wellness and social services, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $5.2 million.

I do appreciate that response. My next series of questions with this page deal with a lot of facility upgrades and renovations within a number of communities. My question is, from a standpoint of a user, or basically, a health professional, as we are all aware, a number of our health professionals do travel and do work in various communities, whether you’re a nurse or in any type of health capacity. Do these facilities, when we’re looking at doing these retrofits, these replacements, is there a common theme on trying to create some universality in the design so that there’s a familiarity when...

From what I can gather, a portion of that lot was decommissioned or under remediation, and that amount of money for that demolition will be included in the whole component cost of that project as we move forward for capital depreciation and amortization.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 64-17(3), Northwest Territories Capital Estimates 2013-2014, and would like to report progress. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you.
